Although some modern equipment had been connected to the Bailu Temple, as a relatively important library, there had been a powerful restriction since ancient times to prevent others from prying into it. Moreover, because it was left behind by the ancestors of the Bailu Temple, it was operated by the power of the earth veins. In terms of level, it was unknown how much higher it was than the current temple master of the Bailu Temple. Once it was broken, there was almost no possibility of repairing it, so it was not modified.
Therefore, in bad weather, the library would be very dark. This was not a problem for most of the disciples of the Bailu Temple, because as long as the procedures were completed, the books borrowed could be brought back to the room to read.
However, Qin Xingyan clearly did not intend to do so.
Although Xu Shenxing did not urge her too much, she could still hear that the other party was a little anxious, so she directly rushed back to the Bailu Temple, and then directly went into the library to search for information related to soul cutting without rest.
In the dark room, piles of ancient books were piled on the floor emitting a faint sandalwood fragrance. The girl was also sitting cross-legged on the floor, tirelessly looking for her target from the pile of books.
After an unknown amount of time, her eyes lit up.
"This is it, I finally found it!"
Holding the thread-bound ancient book with "Azure Netherworld Theory" written on the cover, Qin Xingyan's face revealed a mixed expression of joy and relief at the completion of a great task.
The author of this book called himself Old Man Ji. Born with a netherworld body, he did not belong to the world of the living nor the netherworld, which made his childhood very miserable.
However, this did not make Old Man Ji yield. Instead, it made him work even harder to cultivate, just to change his fate.
After growing up, this Old Man Ji joined Buddhism and studied Buddhism. One day, he accidentally made a breakthrough, and used Buddhist magic to forge two divine swords, named "White Tower" and "Lou Guan". After that, he exchanged knowledge with his Taoist friends, comprehended the Daoist scriptures, and referred to the "Three Corpses Execution Method", and used the two divine swords to cut off a part of his soul that was exposed outside of his body, and cultivated it into a half-spirit, thus becoming the first half-spirit in the world. He jumped out of the two realms of Yin and Yang, and was not bound by the rules of the two realms. Later, he was invited by Yama to live on the other side of the River of Forgetfulness in the Underworld, and since then, he had not appeared in the world.
"I see, in addition to a sharp weapon that can cut the soul, there is also a need for the" Three Corpses Execution Method "?
Many people might think that the "Three Corpses Execution Method" had long been lost, but this was not the truth.
But that wasn't the case. There was a handwritten copy in the White Deer Temple's library.
It wasn't just the White Deer Temple. In fact, almost all the sects with a long history had these things.
But after the end of the Mythological Era, this thing had long become tasteless and of little value.
The reason was very simple. For example, if a restaurant got a recipe that was enough to be the treasure of the restaurant, it would most likely not show it to its peers. But if they got a recipe on how to cook dragon meat, they would most likely show it to others … Because there were no dragons in this world, even if they showed it, they would not lose anything.
It was the same for the "Three Corpses Execution Method". No one in the world could cultivate to the level of "Three Corpses Execution Method", so it did not matter if others saw it. That was why this thing became a staple in ancient sects.
"So, I'm almost done with the preparation.... I'll borrow the Divine Artifact from other sects. With Senior Xu's means, it should be no problem."
There were still many sects in the Celestial Empire that still had Divine Artifacts, but many of them were too weak. They did not have enough cultivation to use them.
It shouldn't be too difficult to find one that could sever souls from the rest of the items.
After writing down the solution she found in the notebook she carried with her (the previous page was a grocery list), the girl planned to leave the library and rush back to Jiang Jin to deliver the information to Xu Shenxing.
However, the girl, who was out of her focused state, finally felt a powerful force gathering above her head.
Almost without any hesitation, she rolled to the back! Almost at the same time, the sound of glass breaking came from outside the library. Qin Xingyan was willing to bet that this was the sound of the ancestor's restriction being destroyed. Then, the roof and the place he was just standing on were blasted into pieces by a yellow beam of light from the sky.
"What …"
Ever since Qin Xingyan joined the Bailu Temple, he had never seen an enemy attack the library.
Now that this happened in front of her, it was hard for her to accept.
But immediately, she realized that something was wrong.
"What the hell are you …" Looking at the thing that flashed across the destroyed roof, Qin Xingyan growled in surprise.
After a moment, as if it heard her question, the black shadow finally stopped in front of her.
It was a sparrow.
Or rather, it was a green bird that looked very similar to a sparrow.
Qin Xingyan remembered that he had seen this creature when he was a child.
"Green bird! Is that you, Green Dawn? "
"Unfortunately, it's not me."
The other party didn't pretend to be polite and just replied indifferently, "My name is Green bird, I'm Green Dawn's elder brother."
"Were those riots caused by you?" Qin Xingyan continued to ask.
Although the library was almost completely isolated from the outside sound, Qin Xingyan could now hear the constant shouting of the Bailu Temple disciples from other places. The place where the main hall was supposed to be on the mountain was now occupied by a column of black smoke. It seemed that it was also on fire.
"Probably." The other party didn't deny or confirm, but this kind of indifferent attitude made Qin Xingyan feel even more uncomfortable.
"Why did you come here?!"
Qin Xingyan asked sternly.
"To retrieve the thing that Green Dawn lost in this world." The sparrow that called itself Green Dawn flew into the air and looked down at Qin Xingyan, "Okay, quickly hand it over!"
"You mean, the thing that you're missing is actually in my hands?" Qin Xingyan quickly went through all the useful assets she had, but she didn't find anything valuable.
"That's right, quickly hand it over, or I won't be polite!"
The sparrow arrogantly gesticulated, but it was almost taken away by a passing lynx.
"Even if you say that … Wait …"
The girl was originally confused, but at this time, she suddenly remembered something.
That's right, when Green Dawn left, he did leave something for her, and that was the feather of the Green Dawn, which was said to bring good luck and happiness.
"What do you want that for?" Qin Xingyan became vigilant.
"I don't need to talk nonsense with you. Tell me, are you going to hand it over or not?"
The sparrow suddenly grew in size, and in just two breaths, it became almost as big as a peacock. It stood on the beam that was not completely burned down, and showed Qin Xingyan a demonstration.
Right at this moment, a little black cat slipped in from nowhere and easily knocked over Qing Fu, who was in the middle of striking a pose, with its head.
